Sharks and Jacks

The first real cold front of the fall is here and with it comes the wind. During the past 2 days the gusts have been reaching 30-40 mph so I would recommend staying on land until it dies down a bit. Tomorrow the winds are supposed to come down to near 10 mph but there’s bound to be some stronger gusts mixed in. If you can get out there, I would go for the sharks. Big lemons and bull sharks are all over the flats with jacks always tagging along. I’ve been seeing schools of about 4 or 5 Permit lately but with the wind blowing like it has, it has been a challenge to land one. The next best thing is big sharks on light tackle which is always guaranteed to be a good time.
